Pallets of water.

One of the scenarios my battalion was presented with during a Task Force Liberty Warfighter exercise, prior to deployment to Iraq, was a max effort logistics delivery.  The officers planning said move were trying to figure out just how to meet the mission goal.  Me, being a cheeky member of the E-4 Mafia, looked at the officers and said "Why not use the guntrucks?  There's all that wasted cargo space not being used."  Apparently, it was the right answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have to paint the barrels white then black stripes. Do colors mean anything on such barrels? I'm imagining them carrying stuff like motor oil. Maybe a couple of sheets of steel to keep the supplies from getting too shot up.

Ken, the colours painted on oils cans are the manufacturers colours and man there's a ton of em especially if there old ...you wouldn't believe how many different companies there's been over the yrs ...I don't remember who used black and white but it's always looked good

I've got three or six if I use the banged up ones. Several boxes and crates. Plus the old tissue soaked in glue tarp trick. I'll fill it up one way or another.

If you're covering stuff with a tarp, you don't need to expend your accessories; a blocky shape under the tarp will be sufficient.

That's what I'll do. I'm trying to think of a way to make something that looks like a pallet of water bottles.

There's the Vietnam trucks like Iron Horse and Eve of Destruction.

Fair enough, then. You'll sort it, I'm sure.
